What is Motional?
Motional is a suite of evidence-based, easy-to-use tools designed to measure, positively impact, and report on emotional health across the whole school or setting.
It supports access to healthy life and learning through improved Emotional Wellbeing & Mental Health. Motional offers guidance, activities and resources for intervention work with individual pupils or whole classes, alongside data to provide a ‘whole school’ approach.
How does it work?
The core functions in Motional provide tools to measure and analyse, then to intervene through advice and activities to effect positive change. You can then track and monitor progress of the mental health and wellbeing of your children and young people.
The tools are designed to work in a cyclical fashion providing the opportunity to check and recheck progress.
Building positive relationships
The connections children and young people have with the adults around them is key. Repetition of positive experiences developed through activities supports their development, helping them to:
- feel good about themselves and know that they matter
- increase their sense of security and trust
- increase their emotional wellbeing
- improve their capacity to be creative and curious
- increase their self-esteem and confidence to learn
- learn to recognise and regulate their feelings
- learn to think before behaving in a certain way
- …and much more.
